I used to always run this tireat least on the rear on my 2002 Honda 919. For my last tire, I decided to save 30 and get a Dunlop Qualifier Sportmax Q2 Motorcycle Tire. That was a mistake. The Dunlop lasted 4,000 miles or less. This tire goes 6,500 at least Not only that, but the Dunlop Sport tire was awful until it had warmed up completely This Conti breaks in in no time, and is warm enough to ride hard almost immediately when you start riding I am never worried that my back end is going to slide out from under me when I'm running these Continentals. On top of all the performance qualities, this tire looks really cool, tooI will never again cheap out and get a crappy tire again

Cons: Will skid on wet pavement if I slam on brakes non-abs model- my bad.

These tires are superior tothe Michelin Pilot Road Is which were OEM on this model. They run quieter- especially the front, handle light & quick , wear much better & cost less. I wore out 2 sets of the Michelins approx 8000 miles ea. I now have 11,350 on the Contis w 3.0mm left on both front & rear. I plan on getting Conti Road Attacks in Jan 13. The only negative Ive noticed is a tendancy to skid on wet streets if I brake hard. non-abs model

I recently purchased a Dunlop Qualifier to replace this tire on the front of my 2002 Honda 919CB900F. I wish I had spent the extra 30 to get the direct replacement. With the Conti, there is little to no break in time, due to the dry mold technology. I felt extremely unstable for the first 25 miles or so on the Dunlop. The Conti is also significantly more stable in the rain. I miss my Conti only 100 miles into the Dunlop

Awesome Tires!!! Had them mounted and fully scrubbed in within 21 miles!!! Amazing grip and stick, even when newly mounted due to the new dry mold setup these buns use. I'm not a big believer in using all the tire, even on highly spirited rides, but I noticed that my rear has about a thumb nail's width of Chix Strip, and my front tire has about an inch width of Chix Strip!!! This is on my Gen6 VFR800 RC46 that I use for pleasure and commuting. I have over 4k on them now, very, very slight squaring in the center of the rear tire, but they look like they are holding up the same as my previous Pirelli Angel ST tires another awesome tire, got 8200miles out of those. Confidence inspiring, and when they do break loose too much lean on wet pavement, particularly painted lines-user error, lots of feedback and warnings, and very gradual. Ride is not as smooth as with the Angels, but that's not a bad thing at least for me. I'm the "I want to know everything that's going on with the road" type, so I like the fact that I get constant feedback about the road surface. Good bump soak, and they hold tire pressures extremely well went about 2 months without riding during the winter due to ice and snow....maybe .5 to 1lbs of pressure loss. Fast to get to sticky tire temp, and as I ride year round, that's really awesome for winter time riding. Haven't done much wet weather raining yet...but the opportunities I have had have been pretty secure feeling. All in all, this is a great tire coming from the viewpoint of an above-average 'Clydesdale' rider on a heavy bike and when time to spoon on a new set, it'll be this tire. Seriously freaky the scrub in time!!!!

After searching for a great all weather rear tire last summer, I settled on the Road Attack. I have put over 4,000 miles on it 1,500 in the first weekend and it has been great in all condtions from dry to wet and cold. I can probably get another 4,000 more miles before it needs replacing. The profile of the tire is slightly more rounded than the Dunlop it replaced, yet it offers better traction and feedback with no squaring off. Great tire for touring/commuting.

Have had Conti Road Attack on my BMW R1200RT previously and put Road Attack 2's on the last time. No complaints on anything, good feel of road, good grip wet or dry. Just replaced the rear with 15,000 KM on it, the front has 10,000.KM on it and still going.Likely should have replace the rear a little sooner but didn't realize how much distance I had on it. The centre stip that gets all the wear started to break down and would have been to cord soon but was still riding fine. Only negative is the Road Attack 2 has no tread across the very centre line like the Road Attack does, so no wear indicator to tell you when that very centre is worn out.I would say I am an average rider for sport touring class.
